>>>so saying that CDMA is cheaper than GSM for a company like Nokia or Ericcson due to royalties (CDMa = 5%, GSM = 15%) is not valid.<<<

I don't think he was saying that. The 15% rates are for the downstream buyers of the equipment. For CDMA, the downstream royalty is 5% as opposed to 15%. THAT is why CDMA is cheaper...other than spectrum effeciencies.
